writing update #1: welcome to the chaos
hello, stargazers and story lovers — welcome to the messy corner of my brain where i attempt to write a whole fantasy novel without losing my mind (or my caffeine supply).
if you don’t know me yet (hi, i’m aly blair), i’m currently writing my debut fantasy novel:
crowned in starlight and silver — a story full of celestial magic, sisterly betrayal, and a girl who’s way too stubborn to die quietly.
what’s the vibe?
✨ trials of magic (because i love ✨drama✨)
🌑 a kingdom ruled by stars and shadows
👑 messy royals, ancient prophecies, and betrayal so deep it rewrites the sky
in short: if you like magic, morally questionable choices, and siblings who need therapy, you’re gonna want to stick around.
where am i at right now?
currently:
☕ drinking my weight in iced tea
📖 writing (and rewriting) chapter 6 for the third time
🐈 trying to stop my cat from walking across my keyboard (she's winning)
current moodboard:
✨ silver crowns, shattered mirrors, hands stained with starlight
✨ books older than anyone alive
✨ sisters standing back-to-back — not to protect each other, but to see who stabs first
why am i doing this?
because i fell in love with fantasy books when i was 10, and now i can’t stop thinking about magic systems and cursed crowns. also because every story i love started with someone brave enough to write the first page. so… here i am.
what’s next?
finally finishing chapter 6 (or setting it on fire, we’ll see)
maybe sharing a sneak peek of a scene i actually like
definitely making a playlist because vibes are everything
until next time…
thanks for being here while i try to wrestle this story into existence. if you want to follow along in real time, i’m always oversharing on instagram.
may your writing flow like moonlight, and may your characters actually cooperate (unlike mine). 💫
